Hi All,
I am going to model density that is changing through the thickness for graded plates.
Before, I wrote UMAT to model variation of elastic modulus through the thickness and I solved my bending problem. But at this moments I want to add density to solve vibration as well.
I dont know how can I modell that. I mean if I define the density as a function of z in UMAT how abaqus define density in its solution. because in UMAT, elastic modulus can be related to stress and strain but there is no calling for density.

I would greatly appreciate if you help me.
please see the attached file for UMAT for variation of elastic modulus for bending analysis

Seems to me that you're asking an Abaqus and not a Fortran question.
